A native of Satellite Beach, Fla., Goodwin attended the University of Florida to play soccer for the Gators. As a freshman, she became the first Gator rookie to earn NSCAA All-America Honors and was named the 1997 SEC Freshman of the Year. After Florida won the 1998 National Championship with Goodwin on the sidelines due to knee surgery, she returned for her sophomore campaign to earn a spot on the conference all-tournament team. A co-captain as a senior in 2001, Goodwin was again selected to the All-America Team and was named the Verizon Academic All-American of the Year as well.

Goodwin graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise & Sport Sciences from Florida in 2001 and finished her Masters in Gainesville just two years later. She then returned to school to complete her Master’s of Science in Sociology at Morgan State in 2011.

Goodwin and her husband Rory now reside in Baltimore, Md. with their son Malachi.
